MCP2551
1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW
The MCP2551 is a high-speed CAN, fault-tolerant
device that serves as the interface between a CAN
proto col controller and the ph ysical bus. The MCP2551
device provides differential transmit and receive
capability for the CAN protocol controller, and is fully
comp atible with the I SO-11898 s tandard , includ ing 24V
requirements. It will operate at speeds of up to 1 Mb/s.
Typically, each node in a CAN system must have a
device to convert the digital signals generated by a
CAN co ntroller to si gnals suit able for t ransmissio n over
the bus cabling (differential output). It also provides a
buff er between the CA N controller and the hi gh-voltag e
spikes that can be generated on the CAN bus by
outside sources (EMI, ESD, electrical transients, etc.).
1.1 Transmitter Function
The CAN bus has two states: Dominant and
Recessive. A Dominant state occurs when the
differential voltage between CANH and CANL is
great er than a defined v oltag e (e.g.,1.2 V). A Rece ssive
state occurs wh en the differen tia l v ol t ag e i s less than a
defined voltage (typically 0V). The Dominant and
Reces sive sta tes correspon d to the Low and High state
of the TXD input pin, respectively. However, a
Dominant state initiated by another CAN node will
override a Recessive state on the CAN bus.
1.1.1 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF NODES
The MCP2551 CAN outputs will drive a minimum load
of 45, allowing a maximum of 112 nodes to be
connected (given a minimum differential input
resistance of 20 k and a nominal termination resistor
value of 120
1.2 Receiver Function
The RXD outp ut pin refle ct s the dif feren tia l bus volt ag e
between CA NH and CANL. The Low and Hi gh states of
the RXD output pin correspond to the Dominant and
Recessiv e states of the CAN bus, respectively.
1.3 Internal Protection
CANH and CANL are protected against battery short
circuits and electrical transients that can occur on the
CAN bus. This feature prevents destruction of the
transmi tter out put stage during such a fault condition.
The device is further protected from excessive current
loading by thermal shutdown circuitry that disables the
outp ut dri vers w hen th e junc tion te mpera ture e xceeds
a nominal limit of 165°C. All other parts of the chip
remain operational, and the chip temperature is low-
ered due to the decreased power dissipation in the
transmitter outputs. This protection is essential to
protect against bus line short-circuit-induced damage.
1.4 Operating Modes
The RS pin allows three modes of operation to be
selected:
•High-Speed
Slope-Control
Standby
These mode s are sum m ariz ed in Table 1-1.
When in High-Speed or Slope-Control mode, the
drivers for the CANH and CANL signals are internally
regulated to provide controlled symmetry in order to
minimize EMI emissions.
Additionally, the slope of the signal transitions on
CANH and CANL can be controlled with a resistor
connected from pin 8 (RS) to ground. The slope must
be proportional to the current output at RS, which will
further reduce EMI emissions.
1.4.1 HIGH-SPEED
High-Speed mode is selec ted by co nnecti ng the RS pin
to VSS. In this mode, the transmitter ou tput drivers have
fast output rise and fall times to support high-speed
CAN bus rates.
1.4.2 SLOPE-CONTROL
Slope-C ontrol mode further red uces EMI by limiting the
rise and fall times of CANH and CANL. The slope, or
slew rate (SR), is controlled by connecting an external
resistor (REXT) between RS and VOL (usually ground).
The slope is proportional to th e current outpu t at the RS
pin. Since the current is primarily determined by the
slope-c ontrol resis tance va lue REXT, a ce rtain sle w rate
is achieved by applying a specific resistance.
Figure 1-1 illustrates typical slew rate values as a
function of the slope-control resistance value.
1.4.3 STANDBY MODE
The device may be placed in Standby or SLEEP mode
by applyi ng a high-leve l to the RS pin. In SL EEP mode,
the transmitter is switched off and the receiver operates
at a lower current. The receive pin on the controller side
(RXD) is still functional, but will operate at a slower
rate. The att ach ed microcont roller can mo nitor RXD for
CAN bus activity and place the transceiver into normal
operation via the RS pin (at higher bus rates, the first
CAN message ma y be lost).

1.5 TXD Permanent Dominant
Detection
If the MCP2551 detects an extended Low state on the
TXD input, it will disable the CANH and CANL output
drivers in orde r to prevent th e c orrup tio n o f data on th e
CAN bus. The drivers are disabled if TXD is Low for
more than 1.25 ms (minimum). This implies a
maximum bit time of 62.5 µs (16 kb/s bus rate),
allowing up to 20 consecutive transmitted Dominant
bits during a m ultiple bit e rror and error f rame scenari o.
The drivers remain disabled as long as TXD remains
Low. A rising edge on TXD will res et the tim er logic an d
enable the C AN H and CANL outp ut driv ers .
1.6 Power-on Reset
When the device is powered on, CANH and CANL
remain in a hig h-impedance state u ntil VDD reaches th e
voltage level VPORH. In addition, CANH and CANL will
remain in a high-impedance state if TXD is Low when
VDD reaches VPORH. CANH and CANL will become
activ e on ly a fter TXD i s as ser ted Hig h. O nce powe red
on, CA NH and CANL will e nter a high-imp edanc e st ate
if the voltage level at VDD falls below VPORL, providing
voltage brown-out protection during normal operation.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
Microchip believes that i t s family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
The re are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.
Code protection is c onstantly evolving. We a t Microc hip are co m mitted to continuously improving the code prot ect ion featur es of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’ s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.

Tempe, Arizona; Gresham, Oregon and design centers in California
and India. The Company’s quality system processes and procedures
are for its PIC® MCUs and dsPI C® DSCs, KEELOQ® code hopping
devices, Serial EEPROMs, microperiph erals, nonvolatile memory and
analog products. In addition, Microchip’s quality system for the design
